What's interesting is that these, for the most part, are featured prominently on the social democratic platform of Canada's NDP party.

So you support these socialist initiatives? (Mind you, some of these are more socialist than others, depending on the approach.) Or do you mean to have these things privatized and paid for completely out of the users' pockets? (As opposed to their being fully or partially funded by the government.)
